<p>This plugin connects your WordPress site to a Web-Tracking.eu account<br />
(https://web-tracking.eu). After saving your Site ID in the plugin settings,<br />
the plugin injects the tracking script tag into the <code><head></code> of your<br />
front-end pages.</p>
<p>The plugin itself does not collect or transmit any data. It only outputs a<br />
     tag pointing to your configured Web-Tracking.eu endpoint.</p>
<h4>What this plugin does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Adds a settings page under Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Web-Tracking.eu where you can paste your Site ID</li>
<li>Injects the tracking script tag on front-end pages when a Site ID is configured</li>
<li>Optionally skips the script when the visitor is a logged-in administrator or editor</li>
<li>Optionally accepts a comma-separated list of URL path prefixes to mark as excluded (passed as a <code>data-exclude</code> attribute on the script tag for the tracker to read)</li>
<li>Optionally accepts a custom domain so the script can be loaded from your own subdomain (requires a CNAME you set up separately at your DNS provider)</li>
</ul>
<h4>What this plugin does not do</h4>
<ul>
<li>It does not collect, store, or transmit any data on its own</li>
<li>It does not modify your post content, templates, or theme files</li>
<li>It does not write to the <code>wp_options</code> table beyond a single settings entry</li>

</ul>

<li>A Web-Tracking.eu account at https://web-tracking.eu (free tier available)</li>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or newer</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or newer</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any data on its own. It<br />
only outputs a <code><script></code> tag that loads the Web-Tracking.eu tracking<br />
script from the URL configured in your settings. Any data handling<br />
performed by the loaded script is governed by the Web-Tracking.eu<br />
privacy policy at https://web-tracking.eu/privacy.</p>

<p><strong>Video stats</strong></p>
<p>NEW: VidLog now tracks how long visitors watch your videos, giving you deeper insight beyond simple play counts.</p>
<p><strong>VidLog</strong> gives you immediate insight into how your self-hosted videos are being watched, directly inside your WordPress dashboard.</p>
<p>The moment a visitor presses PLAY, VidLog records the view and stores key details such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Date and time</li>
<li>IP address</li>
<li>Country/City</li>
<li>Page slug</li>
<li>Video file</li>
<li>Referrer source</li>
<li>Pages viewed</li>
<li>Watched time (minutes viewed per session)</li>
</ul>
<p>If you use self-hosted video files like <code>.mp4</code>, <code>.webm</code>, <code>.mov</code>, <code>.m4v</code>, <code>.avi</code>, or <code>.m3u8</code>, VidLog helps you understand what people are watching, where they are coming from, and which videos perform best. The plugin also logs instant visits on your site pages, logging the same metadata.</p>
<p><strong>Page stats</strong></p>
<p><strong>VidLog</strong> also instantly logs what pages visitors view on your site. The log contains the same metadata as video views. It counts all page visits, not only unique visits.</p>

<li>CSV exports for reporting and backup</li>
<li>Referrer tracking to see where visitors came from</li>
